Dear Alson,
My grantgrand mother was Josephine Elizabeth Fiester b. Oct 22, 1890(89) in Silverton, Oregon. Her father was Chester Fiester b. abt. 1870 in Marion County, Oregon. Her mother was Belle Stroop also born about 1870 in Marion County, Oregon. Chester Fiester was listed in the 1895 Marion County census with Josephine and her sister, Mamie and no wife. The two girls are living with their grandparents Samuel and Rebecca Stroop in 1900 and there is no further record on Chester. There were only a few Fiesters in Marion county in the late 1800 and Chester is most likely related to these families. These are the families of Daniel and Henry Fiester for Muncy, PA. They came to Oregon in 1847 my wagon train over the Oregon Trail.
Do you have any information on these Fiesters. I beleive that Chester may be the son of Charles Fiester and Nancy E. Brown m. 1865 in Silverton, Oregon.
